Q: Buzzing sound in right ear when certain sounds are heard

When listening to music, certain note combinations (i.e certain chords) create a buzzing in my right ear. One weird thing i need to point out is that odd enough - the buzz doesn't get stronger if i turn the volume up.

I am seeing a doctor right now. I already did a hearing test (that showed i'm not losing my hearing) and the timpanometry showed my right ear drum is a little loose, but the doc says that has nothing to do with my condition. I really would appreciate another opinion as the doctor I'm seeing seems he doesn't have a clue what it is, and the situation seems to be getting worse - Now there are also some notes that produce the same response on my left ear, and my right ear is getting worse (I'm a musician so I remember what chords make the buzz and check it on the piano everyday).

Get earplugs - there are molded ones that cut all frequencies equally. I have a pair and almost never leave home without them - use them at concerts, movie theaters, when I play guitar etc.

I have exactly the same symptons
Hi- I have had the exact symptons for more than three years..
Like bulk001 suggested, my doctor gave up and told me to use
the "musicians ear plug". But it does not solve the problem,
and I really would like to know what causes these problems.
Do you have any lead? TMJ forum here seems to have something
in common..I did all the hearing test, MRI..

Me Too...
I have had the exact same symptom in my right ear for a number of years. I have done the hearing tests and have no hearing loss. An additional problem for me is that earplugs do not always help. I can plug my ear, sing specific pitches and still hear the buzzing. Have any of you found any answers?
